Effectiveness
How Amoxicillin Affects PatientsAmoxicillin works by stopping bacteria from forming their cell walls, which keeps them from reproducing. It has a long lasting effect when taken twice a day. It is generally safe even when taken in higher doses. However, patients should be aware of potential risks such as anaphylaxis, C. difficile infections, and antibiotic resistance.
How Amoxicillin works in the bodyAmoxicillin works by stopping certain proteins from helping bacteria build and repair their cell walls. Without these proteins, bacteria cannot properly build or repair the walls and eventually die.
When to interrupt dosage
The recommended measure of Amoxicillin is contingent upon the specified condition, such as Lower Respiratory Tract Infection (LRTI), Duodenal Ulcer and Stomach Ulcer. The amount of dosage differs, based on the administration approach (e.g. For suspension - Oral or Oral) as illustrated in the table below.Condition

Patient Q&A Section about amoxicillin
These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.What is amoxicillin used for?
"Amoxicillin is an antibiotic that belongs to the group of penicillins. It is used to treat bacterial infections like chest infections, pneumonia, and dental abscesses. It can also be used in combination with other antibiotics and medications to treat stomach ulcers."
Answered by AI
What is the most common side effect of amoxicillin?
"Side effects of amoxicillin are typically mild and can include gastrointestinal issues such as an upset stomach and diarrhea, as well as a headache, rash, abnormal taste, and vaginal yeast infection. Some less common side effects that have been recorded include allergic reactions, breathing problems, and seizures."
Answered by AI
How many days should I take amoxicillin 500mg?
"The text is saying that amoxicillin is given for 5-10 days or until the infection clears. People who have recurrent ear infections are more likely to get amoxicillin/clavulanate because bacteria can become resistant to amoxicillin."
Answered by AI
What infections does amoxicillin treat?
"Amoxicillin is an antibiotic that is used to fight off infection by bacteria. Amoxicillin is commonly used to treat infections in the ear, nose, throat, skin, or urinary tract. It is also used to treat bronchitis and pneumonia."
